The Third Option

Panel 1: What if he chooses the last one...
We see the dialogue options from the previous comic. The top two are greyed out, and the last one is highlighted:
The story is amazing.
I'm so invested in my character.
(Torture Lisa with Force Lightning and the revelation that the whole office has abandoned WoW.)
Panel 2:
Patrick lets out an evil laugh (Muhahahah) and sends Force Lightning at Lisa.
Panel 3:
Lisa is on the ground, still electrified. Lisa: Can- can I play too?
Panel 4:
Lisa is at the computer to buy the game. It says You're too late!
Lisa: No!

Funny because I feel the same way whether I start at the beginning or not! And with SWTOR, I’m so engaged in the story that I don’t want to rush so I feel even more like I’m sitting at 25 while everyone else is max level.

Of course, that isn’t true necessarily. There was a thread on the forums yesterday about people not wanting to rush because they were enjoying the story and we were all about the same level.

I’ve embraced the “wait forrrr it” approach to new games. I already have a backlog of things to play, so I figure I may as well wait until the game is nicely patched -and- nicely discounted. The exception, of course, is if it would be fun to play a new one together with pals. SWTOR would fall into that category (as well as being that thing I have long been curious to see… a Bioware MMO), but it just so happens that I don’t have much playtime, atm, so boo.
